A Letter To Mom
Dear Mom,
First things first!
<3 Happy Birthday Mumma! <3
Today is a great occasion to celebrate and my heart aches to be not there with you today, when it’s for the first time ever that I’m away on your birthday. I know it might be first but as the years will pass on, I will miss out on more of such occasions. That’s Life, I guess. I still remember that how until last year I used to postpone my every plan just to spend your special day with you. I know that no matter how much I miss you today, it will be surely less than the amount you are missing me. Well, let’s not get so sentimental on your day and Smile for each other. 🙂
Well, it obvious that I am missing you terribly right now so my mind decided to take trip to the memory land. There are uncountable moments of happiness, laughter, anger, sadness, hope, love, encouragement and little surprises that I have shared with you. It’s hard to pick any one of them. But one came distinctly alive right now as I write this.
I must have been five or six at that time. I faintly remember the scene. You were upset because of me, though I can’t exactly point out the reason why! You had scolded me for pretty good reason, that we both might have laughed off if it happened now. But then it was years ago. I was obviously upset angry for getting scolded just like any other kid and tears had rolled down. I had dashed to my room and bolted it from inside. And I think you had done the same. Yes, I remember you were very angry with me that day. Sometime later Grandma had come to call me for lunch but I had denied. I had told her to have her share and leave me alone. Later when I had felt hungry, I came out of the room and saw that the plates were still laid on the dining table. With a glance at the dishes I knew that Grandma had eaten and retired to her room but you hadn’t. I walked to your room to see you faking sleep. I tip-toed to get a closer look if you were really asleep, afraid that you might scold me again for the rude behavior. Your eyes were shut but I somehow knew that you weren’t sleeping. Little did I know then that how could you have been asleep when your daughter hadn’t eaten anything and was crying unstoppably. I know you must have cursed yourself for scolding me so much. And then punished yourself by skipping meal. I remember trying to wake you up for lunch and saying sorry repeatedly with tears streaming down again. When you refused, I knew you were still upset. I had then ran to the kitchen and brought the lunch at your bedside. I had tried feeding you with my little hand just the way you used to, my face was still wet with tears. I remember, your heart melted as tears rolled down your face and you hugged me hard. All issues forgotten in an instant. That’s how Mother-Daughter relation is, isn’t it? No matter what caused the disagreement, we are still Best Friends at the end!
I don’t know why this particular memory came back now. But now I understand that no matter how much you scold me for anything, you feel equally bad about it. And just a little gesture surely melts a mother’s heart.
Years later now, I am missing your handmade food. I wish I was there with you today and would have eaten just like I used to when I was little. Or may be the other way round, I might have cooked your favourite dish on your birthday. Well I can’t cook for you today but I made this handmade card for you, i hope you like it,
Love you Mom, <3
Missing you so much,
Your little Princess. 🙂

Beautiful post. Mother and daughter are best friends always :}
Yup! They always are! 🙂
Happy Birthday to your Mom, the one person who is going to be there for you no matter what!
Exactly! Moms are the best! 🙂
The bond between a mother and daughter is special. I can relate to your memories. Happy b’day to your mom.
I’m glad that you could relate to it! Thanks a ton 🙂
Happy birthday to your mum! That’s a very sweet card you’ve made for her. Your childhood tiff with your mum sounds similar to my childhood dramas and fights with my mum. Guess all daughters and mums share such sweet and sour memories.
I guess so! Well, that makes their relationship so beautiful! Isn’t it? 😛
My mom has been gone for 50 years – what I wouldn’t give for one more day with her. But I have the memories….thanks for the touching post
Oh it’s sad to hear that but life has to go on! Thanks for visiting!
